Disclaimer: NOTHING IS MINE!!

Slade found him. Even though he didn't tell his friends anything important he was still being thrown around the room like a rag doll. Slade hit him again and again. You could tell how furious he was at Robin.

Pain, anger, and sadness consumed Robin and he had no will to fight back. He had finally given up. Slade kicked him to the floor again and this time Robin couldn't get up.

"Get up and fight me Robin!" Slade yelled. "Or this time I will push the button. I will"

Robin moaned softly and got unsteadily to his feet.

"Now fight back!"

Robin took a sloppy step forward and a weak swing at Slade who simply dodged it and elbowed Robin in the small of his back. Robin yelled loudly in extreme pain and fell to the floor in a crumpled heap groaning.

All of the Titans could tell who was losing and losing very badly. They heard a thud as Robin hit the floor. They heard his ragged gasps for breath and him moan softly.

Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy crowded quietly around Starfire who still held the communicator.

"Now Robin promise me that you won't disobey me again," the icy voice said quietly. "Promise me!!"

"Why should I listen to you?" Robin asked in a pained whisper. "I've listened to you for years with no punishment or reward. Show me what you'll do to me if I disobey you just once."

"Oh but Robin you know what I can do," the voice hissed. "I'll kill your friends and make you live with knowing that you were the reason that four innocents suffered and died because of you."

"They aren't my friends, they stopped looking for me and have gone on with their lives," Robin said quietly. "they all thought I was dead."

"So you don't mind if I kill them? Just a push of a button Robin, that's all it takes."

"Stop this, let me go," Robin yelled loudly. "Please just stop this! Stop making me choose between me and four innocents! I haven't been selfish for however long I've been here! If you kill them you have no power over me!"

"I think you need to sleep Robin," his captor said quietly. "You look tired. Let me give you something to help."

"No," Robin yelled. "Not again!"

Robin still couldn't move as fast as he could to escape Slade's quick hand and firm grip. Slade held him to the floor and took a hypodermic needle out of his pocket. He stabbed it into Robin's arm and injected a small dose of light blue liquid.

Slade got up slowly and watched as Robin started to shake. Robin's gasps quickened as he tried to get air into his seizing lungs. Then Robin's eyes closed and his breathing stopped completely.

Slade knelt down again and injected the antidote to the poison in his other arm. The poison was lethal without an antidote. Slade used the poison on Robin because nothing else was strong enough to knock him out.

Slade stood up and started for the door but stopped and turned around. He picked up Robin's com-link.

"Well Titans I hope you enjoyed your little chat with your so called friend. Hope you enjoyed listening to our little battle," Slade said in an almost amused voice. "Oh and by the way I don't think that you'll talk to your dear little friend again when he's in the hands of his master. Don't expect him to disobey me again just for you puny weaklings. I am Slade and I promise to make all innocents suffer!"

Then Slade crushed the communicator in his hand and dropped the mangled contraption to the floor, leaving a deadly silence in the tower halfway across the city.

OK how was that! GOOD? HUH? REVIEW!!!
